1.13.6

As many good horses as were captured in the battle or found in the bankers' houses were taken and the Raje decided that (he) should quickly depart. This done, half the horses from the entire army were kept with the forces for fighting (purposes), on half the horses were laden the bags of spoils. Long bags were made for the infantry (and) given to their care. Making such preparations, they started with their loads. The fort of Surat was not captured. As there was (very) little time (the Raje) went away after plundering the city. (On receiving this news, the Mughal Subhedar) (with) twenty omraos, and Mahabat Khan and Daud Khan, — made a race of seven ganvs, and came on, each Subha being accompanied by a thousand horse. They intercepted the Raje. (He) learnt the news that the enemy was come. The Raje himself mounted horse, put on a cloak of steel netting with cover for the neck and head, arming his hand with a patta (and) sending forward the baggage horses and the infantry [65] stopped with ten thousand horsemen, unburdened of all. There is a city called Vani Dindori. There (they) stopped, and fought a severe action with the Subha's men who had come. Mahabat Khan and Daud Khan fought. The Raje stationed his forces in the front, and placing himself in the rear, offered battle. Pratap Rav Sarnobat and Vyankoji Datto, and Anand Rav, (with) other Sardars advanced forward (and) made a great slaughter and killing the Mughals, felled (their) corpses. For two prahars the battle raged.
